About Me
Macrina P. Lovina, MSc
I’m Macrina—a wellness consultant weaving together Ayurveda, clinical aromatherapy, and a life lived across two countries. I first fell in love with a small island in Thailand during the pandemic, when the island’s rhythm invited me to pause, reflect, and reimagine. I chose to stay, and redirect my path toward healing and study.
My work reflects my passions: nature, food, health, and wellness. I created this site to share practical, holistic ways to live well—eco-friendly, informed, and accessible to every generation. If you’re seeking a balanced approach to healing that honors mind, body, and the environment, you’re in the right place.
Born in the Philippines, I returned to my roots by establishing my practice in a place that feels like home. My journey blends graduate study in Ayurveda and Aromatherapy with enriching trainings in Yoga, Qigong, and Sound Therapy. I’ve explored bioresonance assessment and completed certificates in Ayurveda & Neuroscience, Emotional Resonance: How Emotions Manifest in Organs, among others. I also bring a diverse background, including a Diploma in French Cuisine and a Bachelor's in Geography.
Macrina is the founder of Ananda Jiva, where she serves as an Ayurveda Wellness Consultant and Aromatherapist. Holding an Master of Science in Ayurveda and Aromatherapy, her professional perspective is uniquely informed by a Bachelor’s in Geography and a Diploma in French Cuisine.
She utilizes this multidisciplinary background to create an integrative practice that bridges environmental harmony, therapeutic plant medicine, and culinary expertise. At Ananda Jiva, her mission is to restore the connection between nature and the individual through tailored wellness protocols. By combining clinical aromatherapy and Ayurvedic principles with refined culinary techniques, she offers a comprehensive approach to health that balances sustainable living with the art of nourishing cuisine.
At the heart of Macky’s work with Ananda Jiva is the belief that true wellness is an integrative practice—one that honors the delicate relationship between our internal health and the world around us.
The Ananda Jiva Philosophy
An Ancient Path to Wholeness for the Modern Life
In today’s fast-paced society, chronic mental, emotional, and physical ailments have become the norm rather than the exception. Dedicated to serving as a comprehensive resource for those seeking root-cause healing and a profound restoration of balance, Macky provides an integrative bridge between time-honored wisdom and contemporary living.
She views the human body as an extension of the earth’s rhythms—a core Ayurvedic perspective that grounds her work in clinical aromatherapy and traditional principles. Her mission is to transform the journey toward wellness into a sacred celebration of nourishment, illustrating that a life of deep vitality and sustainable harmony is a joyful reality accessible to everyone.
For Macky, Ananda Jiva (meaning "Blissful Soul") is more than a practice; it is a commitment to helping others find sustainable vitality through the synergy of nature, scent, and taste.
Ananda Jiva serves as a dedicated source for those seeking to break free from these cycles and reclaim a life of wholesome vitality.
Through her integrative practice, she provides the tools to address the root causes of contemporary imbalances, including:
-
Mental & Emotional Clarity: Navigating the burnout, anxiety, and sensory overload common in high-pressure environments.
-
Physical Resilience: Restoring digestive health, hormonal balance, and natural energy levels.
-
Lifestyle Harmony: Bridging the gap between a demanding schedule—whether as a busy executive, a stay-at-home parent, or a young professional—and the body’s need for rhythmic care.

Ananda Jiva, translated from Sanskrit, means Wholesome or Joyful Life. Ananda Jiva generally refers to a life that is healthy, happy, and fulfilling, encompassing physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. It's about living in a way that nourishes all aspects of oneself and contributes positively to the world around you.
The Ananda Jiva philosophy is about living a joyful, balanced, and wholesome life—one where inner happiness and harmony are the guiding forces. It encourages us to nurture ourselves with love and awareness, recognizing that true well-being comes from aligning with the natural flow of life and cultivating inner peace.
Using Ayurvedic wisdom as a foundation for self-care, we can embrace simple practices like mindful breathing, nourishing foods, gentle self-massage, and moments of quiet reflection. These practices help restore our energy, soothe the mind, and nurture the body, allowing us to experience deeper joy and vitality. Ultimately, this approach transforms self-care into a sacred act—an expression of love for ourselves and a path to living with greater joy, harmony, and fulfillment.
